Too Long Did Read (It): Hey Baby, I Just Shit My Pants, Can I Get In Yours?
The show gets a boost from some listener submitted subreddits. (Please keep sending!) Including r/rectalstickers which prompts a very relevant story from Allison. Then a deep dive into r/lifeofnorman, a subreddit about the mundane life of a fictional character named Norman, makes Allison, Gabe and Melisa very cozy and inspired. And finally, FauxMoi and DeuxMoi and a ridiculous misunderstanding.
